You missed gat's key words - as long as the risk is relatively small - increase the risk diminish the rewards and you get rid of the incentive to go into the pirating career.

When the risk is death by starvation if you do nothing, then the risk of death by Seal bullet if you do something looks not quite so bad.

When are you going to understand that people with nothing to lose are a menace to those with something to lose?

You can't kill 'em all, spoort.

You are right about entry into ports but insurance will be to high, where do you get that from.

It's a fact, arming ships will increase insurance costs, since insurance must now cover a range of liability and death situations, but don't take my word. It's easy enough to check out on the Internet. Mercantile marine insurance would probably be a good starter. .

I was not so much disagreeing as to I was asking how. It may be fact, either way its kind of impossible to prove either way. As you said this is about the law of the land in the ports.

I think guns would make insurance cheaper, as it is the shippers are losing entire ships due to pirates, thats a huge some to insure, its unreasonable to believe if you prevent the theft of an entire shipload of cargo your insurance goes up. I am not going to waste my time looking into this. If you care to post something go ahead, either way the point is mute, law of the land rules.

Mr. Gates does not know shit.

What is of greater significance is with all the "change" why is Obama keeping someone Bush appointed. What is the connection between Bush and Obama.

I will look into the background of Gates.

Obama is same old tired politics with a heavy does of marxist inspired socialism.

When are you going to get the fact that the people producing the starvation are the ones running the pirating operation. Pull your head out Jack. If you can't make money pairating you find another line of work. And I'm not talking about the poor bastard who's just along for the ride because it was either that or watch his wife and daughters get gang raped.

Anyone thinks these are just people going out looking on the spur of the moment is just kidding themselves.
